Luxor lies close to the point where totality lasts longest, up to 6 minutes 23 seconds, one of the longest total eclipses of the century. August skies over Luxor are almost always clear, and the temples and the Valley of the Kings make the trip worth it beyond the eclipse itself.
Around six minutes, depending on where exactly you watch from. Places on the centre line of the eclipse get the longest totality.
Only through certified eclipse glasses (ISO 12312-2) or a proper solar filter during the partial phases. You can look with the naked eye only during totality, when the Sun is completely covered, and must put the glasses back on as soon as it reappears.
Early August in Luxor is very hot, often above 40°C in the afternoon. Plan for shade, water, a hat and sun cream, and rest in the hottest hours outside the eclipse itself.
As early as you can. Hotels and Nile cruises in Luxor are expected to sell out for the eclipse dates, and prices rise closer to the day.
